Early US refineries processed crude oil to recover the kerosene. Other products (like gasoline) were considered wastes and were often dumped into the nearest
river
. The invention of the automobile shifted the demand to
gasoline and diesel, which remain the primary refined products today.
With production of new refineries undergoing a self-imposed moratorium, aging refineries are being forced to their limits, and still, we are extremely dependent on OPEC for the bulk of our needs.
EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency, has mandated strict legislation designed to force refineries to meet modern air and water cleanliness standards.
Pneumatic and Hydraulic is also dedicated to providing new and innovative products designed to protect our environment.
Haskel pumps, designed to operate on clean, dry air fills the need for a number of applications in refineries from proving air over hydraulic power to extend and retract cylinders to providing the force to compress filter press units.
Dry, non-lubricated air provides the cleanest discharge of any other product on the market, and our line of Master Pneumatic and La-Man products ensure that the air being used will be clean and dry.
Automatic drains allow the funneling of water removed from the air to be gathered properly, thereby enhancing the overall appearance of the refinery.
Whether you need a quick disconnect coupling for your air line, or a high-low pressure test unit, Pneumatic and Hydraulic is here to supply your needs quickly and accurately.
Our fleet of rental equipment and standard test units assures you of quick deliveries and a minimum of down time. Our 24-hour on call feature offers you around the clock availability of parts, components or systems.
